Call for Expressions of Interest:
Discovery Early Career Researcher Award

Applications in Cultural and Social Research







The Institute for Culture and Society

The Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) at Western Sydney University (WSU) was launched in 2012. The Institute is internationally recognised for its intellectual leadership and for pursuing a highly forward-thinking intellectual agenda in social and cultural research in key areas such as urban studies, digital media, globalization, cultural diversity, community economies, critical heritage studies, environmental humanities and social change.

With the continuation of the Australian Research Council’s Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) scheme in 2019 (see: http://www.arc.gov.au/discovery-early-career-researcher-award), ICS is investing in leading cultural and social researchers from Australia and overseas by supporting innovative and outstanding DECRA proposals from applicants who will be up to 5 years post-PhD at March 2019.

The objectives of the DECRA scheme are to:

·         support excellent basic and applied research by early career researchers

·         advance promising early career researchers and promote enhanced opportunities for diverse career pathways

·         enable research and research training in high quality and supportive environments

·         expand Australia's knowledge base and research capability

·         enhance the scale and focus of research in the Science and Research Priorities



Funding



A DECRA recipient may be awarded ARC funding of up to $140,858 per year of funding. The per annum salary contribution from the ARC is fixed at $100,858 (2017$), including 30% on-costs, and up to a maximum of $40,000 project costs. Salary and/or project costs will not be awarded separately.



Funding for a DECRA Project will commence effective 1 January 2020, unless other arrangements are approved by the ARC.
